The Elder Scrolls: IV

[Mazy]

Yes, Fallout 3 is probably one of the games I want the most, if they do it right that is (and it looks like they take the fact that they got the IP very seriously). Worst thing would be some guys that did a Fallout game that didnt luv it D:!~

[st0lve]

I want Fallout3, lets play Fallout2 so maybe the time will pass by abit faster :roll:

Taken from the Elder Scrolls forums over here :

- Current release date is Winter 2005

- According to Todd Howard they are trying to make the game as appealing to mainstream gamers as possible

without alienating the hardcore players that prefer more complex RPG's (maybe good or bad)

- They say the game is very very large, but (sadly) it will be smaller than Morrowind for two reasons (Stated by Todd Howard):

- (A) "Budgets and schedules for games will not change much while the enhanced graphics will require more development time,

- (B) "It’s a fact that, statistically, gamers prefer shorter games, and often do not finish more involved titles"

- Will be unlike the conventional RPG in which the combat outcome does not depend on the luck of “dice rolls”

- The damage that you dole out will be determined by your strength, your opponent’s armor, and the attack you unleash

- Your opponents will block and dodge, so taking down an enemy is entirely on the player’s shoulders

- To make this more mainstream appealing(?) they have made most of the tedious aspects of Morrowind fun

(Lock picking, mixing potions, and forging armor for example are going to be done through a mini game of sorts)

- Still made for the 1st person player there are options for both 3rd person and 1st person (like Morrowind),

while also saying that the "combat is visceral and bloody”, and that it is designed to recall intense swordplay seen

in movies like LoTR and Brave heart. Not to mention the fact that they said, “The combat will be every bit exiting as a FPS"

- There are expansive forest regions that are the most breath taking of them all, if only you could see the screen,

but they are packed with almost photorealistic trees and at least a thousand slivers of grass

- All NPC's have a basic day to day schedule so they go to sleep, shop, and even if a poor guy that can’t afford food wants

food enough, he will steal from some one, maybe even you

- Here’s another quote "The Elder Scrolls games are about freedom, and Oblivion takes that freedom to a whole new level ~

The combat is a much bigger focus than in the earlier games"

smaller than morrowind...what the hell

i dont want short games. the last almost long game ive played was doom 3. i want this game to last 60 hours like ff7 :x

[Algor]

Have you played Morrowind? Theres far more than 60+ hours of gameplay.

Not to mention the expansions.

[Marcos]

True Algor.

And it only says that its smaller in size (land) and not gameplay wise. We have to wait and see tho.

But the most awesome thing about the preview is the release date. WINTER 2005!!
